What is an example of character development in literature?

When the protagonist is forced to make difficult choices.
When a character is given an unexpected ability.
When a character is shown to have remarkable insight.
When a character's personality is revealed through their dialogue.

The correct answer is: When the protagonist is forced to make difficult choices.

Character development in literature refers to the growth, change, or transformation of a character throughout a story. Option A, when the protagonist is forced to make difficult choices, is an example of this as it can reveal the character's values, beliefs, and motivations. Option B, when a character is given an unexpected ability, does not necessarily show development but rather an introduction of a new aspect of the character. Option C, when a character is shown to have remarkable insight, may demonstrate intelligence but not necessarily development. Option D, when a character's personality is revealed through their dialogue, may provide insight into their character, but it does not necessarily show growth or change.
